Empty Nest
A mind
Lonely -
Framed painted picture
Swirl of lost colors
Painted blends become single hue
Design captured from its own grey
Tears moist brush
Brings movement
One completes cycle empty nest
Searches for light on a new path
Visions peek through cracks of life
Maps a direction to take
Search is -

Wow Rhoda, I loved this one. The story of finding new direction and beginning to "paint a new life" picture is not an easy feat, but you are accomplishing that. this is well written poem full of metaphors. I like the one of a framed picture in your mind. It reminds me of the story of "the picture of Dorian Gray", his picture changing over time according to his actions and I might add inaction. Taking action in a new direction often times is what we all need. Good work Rhoda.

ReplyDeleteRhoda: The sentiment within your words is captivating. The process of the painter to work through sadness and bring the troublescausing dissonance into consonance and eventual resolution through thought and effort.
